I hope that my experience with this will help you solve your own errors.

hatom-feed hatom-entry Error – problem solved

As i had many many requests i have created a plugin that solves all the errors, it inserts all the required data without the need of any coding whatsoever. All you have to do is activate it.
( clear the cache afterwards if you are using any cache plugins )

The plugin is available for download from Gumroad service and it costs 10$. If you have any problems after activating the plugin, feel free to contact me using the contact form on the website or by sending me an email at info@fivera.net and we will find an alternative solution.

I need your help. My website is facing a problem with hatom and hcard errors. This errors are coming in many pages. My website url is http://livecricketscorecards.com
please help me out from this Nikola.

I bought your plugin last night, installed and activated it but structured data testing still has same amount of errors (47 of them). Various errors including Author missing and required, publisher missing and required, Datemodified missing and recommended, name missing and required and some others. I have used W3 Total Cache to empty the following caches… Page Cache, Database Cache, Object Cache, and Browser Cache but still the same errors. Can you please advise? Not too much to be spending on a plugin but frustrating if it is not going to solve my problems and if it can’t sort my problems how can I go about getting a refund?

Hi there. I do offer support for the plugin as stated in my blog post above, feel free to shoot me en email on info@fivera.net. First of all, the errors in the webmaster take time to go away as the webmaster doesn’t have instant access to your pages, google crawls them and sends back the feedback to webmaster every 15 days or so.

section of my posts have been set and the result was good but on the home snippet different results are labeled red states like this : hatom – feed hatom – entry : Error : At least one field must be set for HatomEntry . Error : Missing required field ” entry – title ” . Error : Missing required field ” updated ” . Error : Missing required hCard “author “

I’ve also contacted the theme developers who are planning to fix this in their next release, but I’m hoping for an interim solution since our rich snippets have disappeared from the SERPs altogether, presumably due to these unresolved errors since we are following Google’s guidelines otherwise.

Hello Hitman. Try searching for ” the_modified_time” perhaps you will have more luck in finding it. As for the Serps.. well.. Google has officially stopped showing the author in the serps for all websites 🙂
Authorship is no more an option and it is gone forever. 🙁

Thank you for your plugin, it’s been a life saver and it solved the problems I was having with the hcard author and update date.
Now I get another issue with Google rich snippets and I am wondering if this is a side effect of the changes made by your plugin.
If you load the google rich snippet tool with this address, “link removed ” you see the error. The hcard data is complaining about a hidden snippet. This error occurred after installing your plugin.

Hello. using rich snippets tool on your url i See that the “hatom-entry”markup is correct. That is what the plugin is supposed to fix, however the other “hcard” markup is the one that will not be shown by the Google . It is related to your theme codding i suppose. Do not worry as this is already included in the block that will be recognized “author”. check your webmaster tools and you will see the errors being reduced as the pages are being re-crawled/ re-indexed. Cheers.

I’m seeing the plugin isn’t working for Genesis Framework also when I looked at the plugin code you closed the php tag at the end which is almost never done since its closed later in the code so you might want to check on it. I’m doing a backup then will remove that php tag to see if it works.

Hello Enrico. My plugin should work with any theme.
After activation make sure to clear the cache ( if you are using cache plugin of any sort). Using the rich snippets tool you can check if the errors are gone straight away. In the webmaster however it will take some time to show them as corrected as the Google needs to crawl (index) the website with the changes made. approximately 15 days. Cheers.

Hello Nikola, thnka for the information. You say it should work with my FirmaSite theme, if is not you will help me to make it work with FirmaSite? If a new version of wordpress arrive you will give me the update for free or I will have to pay again?
Cheers.

The plugin will work for a long time to come as the plugin is simple PHP and not related to wordpress core, there is absolutely no need for any changes.when the updates come.
You are free to use the plugin on ALL of your personal websites. So in simple words it is a one time payment. If you however have any questions or problems feel free to contact me trough the form or send me an email on info@fivera.net. Cheers.

I’ve been dealing with these hcard and hentry errors on several websites for a couple years. Doing manual changes every time WordPress updates to keep the problem at bay was not even an option so I lived with it… Until that is, Fivera created his awesome hatom Error Fix plugin for WordPress. I p[aid the $10, downloaded and installed the plugin and, Whalla – No More Errors from Google Rich Snippet testor.

Yeah you are the best one…. I had search it in all the blog of the wolrd and you are the only one that give me rigth solution… ok I must be honest, I had changed some code to adapt in my wordpress theme… but It work… Thank you Boss!!!!

In short – NO. But it is always good to remove all the errors.
I have made a plugin that removes the hatom errors all together, if you are interested i can send it to you for 10 $. contact me trough the form in my author box below if you need it. It is made of just a few simple functions that remove the hatom-entry all together.

Hello Fivera, thanks for your great post. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work on my page. I only have error on my single products in woocommerce, the rest of the site is fine. Do you have any idea what I should change in order to make this also work for the single products? Sincerely, Niels

if i put author(), then there is so many author such as admin or member name in every post in index website
and thats no good for view…. and i think there is many theme without author name in index website

I have the admired theme. I went to open the functions.php page and found that it is blank. Do I just copy and paste “printf( __( ‘Posted on %4$s by %7$s‘, ‘admired’ ),^M” or is it more complicated than just that?

I am using a custom made theme twentytwelve and I have the same problem with “missing author and missing updated errors”. I also have a single.php file but none of the suggested is listed in that file.

The index page has no errors at all – only at the other pages I get the 2 errors. Please check the 2 links below
